I am going to rip my hair out! I can understand the names for the monhs easy enough, but the days of the month are going to kill me! Is there an easy way to remember them or is it just going to take practice to learn them? It doesn't seem to make any sense to me!

You mean the names of months such as ichi getsu, ni getsu so on? Easy to remember as getsu is the Kanji moon and before that is the number. EG first month = january, sixth month = june. And im guessing you mean days as in nichi youbi, do youbi, so on. The way to remember these is the similar connection with months. Day is youbi, so you must add youbi after the day to get the day of the week, just like getsu.

Now the prefixes for -youbi:

Nichiyoubi. ~Sunday~. The day of the sun so sunday. Nichi = sun. """(which is why in kanji, you get the kanji for sun, then youbi, then kanji for nichi(kinda hard to explain as its easier shown then said). Looks like => 曜日"""Getsuyoubi. ~Monday~. The day of the moon. Getsu = moon. Easy way to remember it is moonday minus one o.Kayoubi. ~Tuesday~. Day of fire. Ka = fire. Fire before water.Suiyoubi. ~Wednesday~. Day of water. Sui = water. Fire before water .Mokuyoubi. ~Thursday~. Day of the Tree. Moku = tree.Kinyoubi. ~Friday~. The day of gold. Or pay day . Kin = gold.Doyoubi. ~Saturday~. Day of the Earth. Do = Earth.
